I'm sure this has been suggested but a double cutaway Hollow Body like the Gibson CS336 would be awesome.
 
i definitely second this. that might be my next build if warmoth had an option. i'd love to see an offset body style, like the gibson vegas. definitely my favorite semi-hollow

Didn't know what a Gibson Vegas was so googled around..... Looks a little like the old Fender Starcaster.
Any chance Warmoth could do a close simile between the two models?

GIBSON VEGAS STANDARD.
 
Exactly. It would be my next build if they'd do it. I'd like to build it with the ghost system and midi adapter. Acoustic and synthesizer capability as well as whatever pickups chosen. One helluva versatile machine. I am jonesn on my next GAS project.
 
well it's been said a bunch of times before.
honestly i don't like any of the offset hollow body designs nearly as much as a 335 or a jazzbox.
What i would really like to see is that starcaster headstock!

I was just starting playing when the Starcasters came out, people were underwhelmed with them. 'Not Fender like' was the claim, and it turned people away. Those who wanted a semi hollow/ hollow double cutaway, chose the tried and tested ES335 and those who were Fender afficionados were turned off that it was getting close to Gibson territory.

Funnily enough, I always thought the headstock was fugly.

And I was never a fan of those original Fender humbuckers tbh either. To me, they sounded so flat sounding in their day.. now look at the price of the originals.  :dontknow:
 
I played one of these the other day, The Heritage H-555.  The figuring on it was off the hook gorgeous.  Talk about a nice guitar.  If only I had $3K just laying about.

Seriously, how many times has this been brought up?  Get on it, Warmoth!  I'll buy one!

I am not going to say that this time.... I still feel guilty about asking for a carved top tele .... several times... and I still haven't bought one.  :dontknow:
 
I just ordered a non reverse Firebird headstock. They do reverse as well.
The Trini Lopez option would be great. I want one with a zebrawood top laminate. Bad GAS.
